+
+The problem is not the length of the link target, which is only 170
+characters and will work on any OS. The basename of the symlink
+being created is pretty long, 294 characters, and that's the
+cause of the failure.
+
+ joey@darkstar:~>ln -s /dev/null $(perl -e 'print ("a" x 294)')
+ ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa’ -> ‘/dev/null’: File name too long
+
+The limit is 255 characters in a single path component (`pathconf _PC_NAME_MAX`).
+
+So, the issue is caused by the rss feed having a long title for this
+item.
+
+And this used to work; it's a recent reversion. Fixing.
